“Collage is much more than cutting and pasting — it’s a way to make sense of your world, thoughts, and emotions” says illustrator and collage artist, Petra Zehner. She experiments with different styles, media, time periods, and techniques to create unique pieces. She specializes in collage art for different projects and is the creative director and founder of Paris Collage Collective, which is a worldwide community that sets regular creative challenges to connect local and global artists.

In this course, she teaches you how to create digital mixed-media collages that seamlessly combine traditional materials and tools with digital illustration in Photoshop. Explore the differences and possibilities of crafting digitally with analog elements. Learn to collect, mix, match, and make things your own.
